I do not know for certain why teens are excluded, but I can speculate. My guess is that LEGO needs adults to sign confidentiality agreements, with respect to new products under development. But that is only a guess.

First, yes, a position on the MCP is not "life long" - it is generally for a term of (if memory serves) one year. And then *everybody* (including those of us that have been with this from before the MCP) have to re-apply (it is, after all, a community - not an exclusive club).

Second, the reason Brother Brick and similar put this up is likely because of the LEGO Ambassador program - there were "releases" of this information at various places (such as LUGNET) via the ambassadors, so it was released by LEGO... just not via a formall press release sort of style.
